Ban Sairee is located on a stunning isolated beach, and is surrounded by grass lawns and ancient coconut palms. On the island’s south coast, slightly west of the landmark ‘Golden Pagoda’, the property offers fabulous sea views, and overlooks the undeveloped islands of Koh Tan and Koh Matsom, which can both be reached by a short boat ride. Designed in classic Thai Ayudhaya architectural style, and furnished with ‘old world’ flair, Ban Sairee comprises a pair of grand teakwood villas, each consisting of two pavilions that are adjoined by vast wooden decks.

Each of the two mirrored villas comprises a separate living and sleeping pavilions. The living pavilion features an immense, open-plan living room, with polished wooden flooring, vaulted wood-paneled ceilings with exposed beams, and wood paneled walls. Foldaway glass doors open out on to the deck to the front and rear, integrating indoor and outdoor living space, and allowing the balmy sea breezes to flow through the house. A fully equipped kitchen occupies one corner of the living room, which is furnished with a large teak dining table seating 8, and sumptuous water-hyacinth sofas, arranged around a coffee table that faces the sea views. Adjacent to the living room is an adjoining TV room, with a deep daybed for lounging on. A second teak dining set seating 8 on the deck provides an enticing venue for al-fresco meals. Teakwood, cushioned sun-loungers complete the deck furnishing, leaving ample space for enjoying the fenced verandah, which is ideal for children to play on.

The sleeping pavilions of each villa feature 3 en-suite, air-conditioned bedrooms, with high ceilings, and suspended fans. All of the bedrooms are floored in polished wood, and feature wood-paneled walls, and sliding glass doors opening out on to the wooden decks, sea views, and breezes. The twin and double bedrooms have large, walk-in wardrobes, and marble-clad bathrooms with bath-tubs, and outdoor rain-showers. The children’s bedroom is furnished with bunk beds, and has an adjacent bathroom with shower.

All four pavilions have direct access to the secluded beach that lies beyond the palm- shaded, rolling lawns. In the midst of the lawns, between the villa and the beach, is a large, L-shaped swimming pool, with an overflowing edge into the sea view. The pool is surrounded by a stone patio on 3 sides, with teak, cushioned sun-loungers and parasols. A full-size, fenced tennis court is located behind the villa, along with the staff house, which has a kitchen for catering preparations.
